And they covered their eyes to make sure that the red light didn't go into the eye.
And so the conclusion is, it's not a clinical study, right?
And it's not like a one year, how does it really improve your eyesight over one year?
But it shows proof of principle that red light is doing something systemically that does not have to go to your eye that does improve your eyesight.
And to me, that makes sense because your vision is going to be improved by anything that acts directly in your eye to improve energy production.
But you've got coordinated energy metabolism going on through your whole body, like your liver is doing tons of stuff to try to.
make your eyes healthy and make your brain healthy and so on.
So it makes a lot of sense.
So I don't doubt at all that the bed is a part of that, but the lutein and zeaxanthin are well known to accumulate in the macula where they have a very specific role in protecting against macular degeneration.
And actually the best source of those is egg yolks from chickens that are fed
So anything that has them, but marigolds are super high in them.
So if they feed the chickens marigolds, they get super high levels.
And the egg yolk has fat that helps them get absorbed.
So in terms of, I mean, this is, you could take this with some eggs.
But I should feed my chickens marigolds.
Yeah, if you have chickens and if you're spending your money on a lutein zeaxanthin supplement, you might be able to get a โ maybe the marigolds are cheaper.
I mean, the vitamin A is going to that's going to depend on your genetics in terms of how good are you at converting beta carotene into the into the form of vitamin A that we need, which is most abundant in liver and egg yolks.
It's dependent on genetics.
